WARNING
• The shape and size of the nasal cavity and its suitability for transnasal insertion
may vary from patient to patient. No endoscope, including this one, can always be
inserted transnasally into all patients. Before proceeding, always be sure to confirm
that transnasal insertion is possible with the patient by considering both the size of
the patient's nasal cavity as well as the size of the endoscope's insertion section.
Otherwise, patient injury can result or the endoscope could become lodged and
difficult to withdraw.
• Transnasal insertion of the endoscope should be performed carefully. If resistance
to insertion is felt, or the patient reports pain, stop the insertion immediately.
Otherwise, patient injury can result or the endoscope could become lodged and
difficult to withdraw.
